The Dongcang Bridge (simplified Chinese: 东仓桥; traditional Chinese: 東倉橋; pinyin: Dōngcāng Qiáo) is a historic stone arch bridge over the Dongcang River in Yicheng Subdistrict , Yixing, Jiangsu, China.

History
Dongcang Bridge was originally built in the Baoqing period (1225–1227) of the Southern Song dynasty by magistrate Zhao Rumai (赵汝迈), but because of war and natural disasters has been rebuilt numerous times since then.[1][2] The present version was completed in March 1997.[1][2] In June 2006, it was inscribed as a provincial-level cultural heritage site by the Government of Jiangsu.[1][2]
